Rick Walker Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 If you dont mind me asking John, how much did that thing set you back? Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pexter Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 (edited) Sorry Rick Iam not at Liberty to say 'cause they are changing the price on them.You would have to get a price quote on it to see what exactly what you are looking for.Put it this way it is a fraction of the cost of what you would pay for the combined price of an Inch & a Millenium Dumbell together,plus there is Infinite type of weight ajustments involved.

SEE YOU FOR THE STONE IN TWO WEEKS, IF YOU NEED THE CASH NOW JUST LET ME KNOW It's not on their site but it's www.infinitestrength.com No it is not on there site yet.It is the first one made so far like this.You have to get a quote from them.Tell them what specifically you want made.It takes them about 2-4 weeks to make it after they get the OK from you to go ahead.Ask for Paul Armstrong.They can make you just about any kind of bar or dumbell you want, and at very reasonable prices.At the quality of there products very reasonable indeed!!! You'll find they are very easy to deal with,and they aim to please there customers.Iam very,very happy with there services,and will be dealing with them in the future.Infinite Strength Paul said they are working on making a whole line of unique grip products too.One is a micro-loadable sledge,another is a knurled handled gripper with a adjustable tension spring.Just to name a few.

Bill Piche Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 This thing looks cool. How does this thing fit together? Bolts? If so, how easy is it to "strip" either the handle or plates? How are the caps put on? How accurate are the plates? What's it made out of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Looking at the pics, it is all simple bolts using a hex wrench. Something like that could be adjusted in a minute or two at the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
